		<description><![CDATA[Probably the hardest part of a training program like the one I am currently in is how well it can interrupt other goals you have.  I have been terrible about reading blogs while I&#8217;m here, and about posting.  This is because in the more social environment that I am currently in, I find so many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I figure that you all are intelligent people and have realized that my schedule at training doesn&#8217;t allow me to write as often as I could at my station.  Still, I saw some news this week that gave me pause: that S&#38;P had downgraded the EFSF emergency fund (Reuters).  Now, I understand the cold logic behind [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, 2011 has been an eventful year, both for me personally, the United States, and the world at large.  For my part, I enlisted in the Coast Guard, survived basic training (barely), married my boyfriend of 6.5 years, moved to Rhode Island, and got my orders that will send me to A-School and a promotion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Things are evolving so quickly in the Eurozone that I&#8217;m sure this will be out of date as soon as I write it.  Or maybe not.  This is more a general thought about the crisis than a particular focus on one part.  Greece and Italy now have new governments, which I have mixed feelings about.

		<description><![CDATA[Irene costs restart Washington budget battle &#124; Reuters. I find Eric Cantor&#8217;s assertion that any spending to recover from Irene means spending will have to be cut other places extremely disturbing.  Perhaps if Republicans weren&#8217;t so preoccupied with constantly cutting spending, there would be sufficient money in the budget to respond to emergencies.  But regardless, [...]]]></description>
